Between August 31 and September 3, 2026, ATIC plans to organize the participation of Romanian IT companies in LEAP 2026, one of the most important international events dedicated to technology, innovation and digital transformation, which will take place at the Riyadh Exhibition & Convention Centre, Malham, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
LEAP 2026 brings together the global technology community in Riyadh and brings together tech companies, startups, investors, business leaders, experts, founders and decision makers from the international digital ecosystem. The event is in its fifth edition and is presented by the organizers as a relevant international platform for ideas, partnerships, innovation and the development of new technological directions.
The event has a significant international scope, bringing together more than 201,000 visitors, more than 1,800 global technology brands, more than 1,000 speakers, more than 600 startups and more than 1,900 investors. The LEAP program covers topics such as artificial intelligence, cloud, data infrastructures, cybersecurity, fintech, health technology, smart cities, climate & energy, space, gaming, sports technology and digital commerce.
Participation in LEAP 2026 can represent a strategic opportunity for Romanian IT companies interested in expanding their presence in the Middle East and on international markets with accelerated growth, to come into direct contact with investors, potential customers, technology partners and decision-makers from industries undergoing digital transformation. Riyadh is positioned by the organizers as one of the fastest growing technology hubs, where innovators come together to explore the future of technology.
For Romanian IT companies, LEAP can provide a relevant framework for promoting their own solutions, international validation of products and services, identification of commercial partnerships, access to investment ecosystems and connecting with industries interested in advanced digital solutions, from AI, cybersecurity and cloud to fintech, smart cities, enterprise software and emerging technologies.
